Just now. In an HN comment.
I write in conversational English. I'm not always going to meticulously write everything like a formal argument might.
If you didn't understand that what I wrote later in a blog post was predicated on an assumption established in the intro, but would have if I wrote an explicit transitional sentence, that's useful feedback. But if you're treating an informal blog post like a court filing, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment.
- loup-vaillant 3mo ago> I write in conversational English. Fair enough. When I write an article (and to a lesser extent even a comment like here), I tend to agonise over every sentence. I’m guessing I’m kinda assuming others do the same. Except of course they don’t.
- some_furry 3mo agoIt depends what I'm doing. My dayjob involves a lot of code review and protocol cryptanalysis, so I agonize quite a bit there. My blog would be less fun if I maintained the same level of rigor. If that makes any sense. ^^;
- loup-vaillant 3mo agoIt does :-)
